That is one of the things that I really wanted the magazine to be was like the old Weird Tales. I wanted Dark Worlds to be Weird Tales for the internet generation.<br /><br />(Although I'm interested to see what will happen to Weird Tales now that it has been bought up by Marvin Kaye)<br /><br />We are taking a look at a lot of other options for distribution as well as digital editions. Thanks for your comments and keep watching this space for further developments.M. D.

Dark Worlds is the closest thing on the market to the spirit of the pulp-era Weird Tales.<br /><br />Closer even than the current incarnation of Weird Tales, which seems to have the weird down, but seems to lack the element of adventure.<br /><br />It seems to me that Lulu makes it difficult to price a book or magazine at a low enough price point to lure in buyers--especially in tough economic times. However, Kindle and Nook are digital options which cut out material expenses and make it easier to price attractively in a touch economic market (such as existed during the pulp era)--and Amazon provides a long distribution arm. <br /><br />Kindle and Nook are not ideal for illustrations, however it is still possible to incorporate them into a manuscript.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696701072090578841noreply@blogger.com
